For STARLAN, the document you want is :

	AT&T STARLAN NETWORK Application Programmer's Reference Manual
	COMCODE 845659192
	DOC # 999-802-215

You can order it from the 800 number AT&T has for ordering documents (I
don't remember what it is off hand) or from your local AT&T dealer.
It's good stuff as far as programming for STARLAN, and in depth information
on what STARLAN does.  

We haven't written any applications for our STARLAN yet, but over all 
we are very happy with the product.  One thing we noticed with ISN 
compatibility was that 3COM and Novell products won't work because they
don't use the 802.3 frame buffer size.  We have a SLIM-C on a 21 node 
STARLAN and it is one of the major uses for the LAN.  We have plans for
adding a couple SLIM B's but we don't know if that will become reality yet.
